Bayonetta progress report:

"Haha, that's a pretty cute Space Harrier reference, they even put the boss from the first stage in there!"

Then the creeping realisation that it's not just the first stage of Space Harrier, it's the whole game, but with a Dodge move that make me nauseous (the entire screen rotates 360° every time).

Powered through it. Thinking about getting Bayonetta 2 on the switch.

the worst part about the otherwise cool space harrier stuff is that the best boss in the game is locked behind it. bayonetta 2 is also great though! and overall a lot more forgiving

The first footage I see of the Diablo 2 remaster is of a vTuber playing it.

She mentions how when she was a small child, her mom used to play and she would watch and I feel so old I instantly turn to dust

what’s the general feeling on spore these days? i was thinking about it today and now i see that it’s $5 on steam. i know it was considered a huge disappointment at the time but now that we’re far removed from the hype, is it at least a good time?

I downloaded the D2 alpha and within 5 minutes remembered how clunky and awkward it is and how ugly the UI is. It should've been a full remake with actual updates and QOL stuff.

Last time on Persona 4 Golden:

- Ha ha, Yosuke thinks diving into the tv is like spelunking. Of course the rope snaps dummy!
- I can see why the bear thinks we're throwing people in here. There's no one else here! And he's an empty halloween costume?
- gently caress! This creepy dick is Teddie.
- "Thou art I, I art though." I got chills.
- Poor Saki. :(
- gently caress. Shadow Yosuke. Now we're 2 Personas.
- The next contestant on the Midnight Channel is: Yukiko? No, she's at the inn working.
- Except now she's not. And she's showing off the goods? That's not Yukiko.
- Ha ha, we get arrested because Yosuke is waving around prop weapons in public. What a glorious dumbass.
- Thank god Uncle ACAB is here to bail us out.
- This Adachi creep is sketch af
- Of course Chie would know where we can buy real weapons and armor.

You know, I'm really not liking how other people are treating Yukiko. From the beginning, everyone has been hitting on her or tells other people to hit on her. The teenagers I get, even Chie, but the reporters on tv are kind of gross.

And so far Yosuke is ok. Sure he's a bored kid with some questionable motives, but I was the new kid a few times growing up and it ain't easy. Also despite his Shadow he seemed to genuinely care for Saki and Yukiko.

Also I bought new weapons instead of armor. I'm going to regret that aren't I?

Depends on how much you enjoy the youtube series Monster Factory. Do you think making characters look very ugly is worth playing the rest of an incredibly mediocre game that last I checked had a crashing issue? You might like it then

Weapons are totally alright in the beginning of the game when you dont have any SP regen or that many spells to begin with. Gives your party members something to do when they cant hit a weakness, or after they hit a weakness but didn't land the kill. The big issue with weapons is that they only improve your character's autoattacks (and all-out attack but thats always gonna be strong) and not the damage of their physical skills, so Yosuke's lunge does the same damage whether he has the best weapon in the game equipped or no weapon. The main reason to not buy weapons is that every character will get a special weapon from sidequests very soon after unlocking them, and they'll have some sort of bonus to them that makes them better than 90% of the other weapons in the game. Like, one party member's gives them +50 SP, which is way better for a spellcaster than any amount of attack damage. I say this because money is gonna be REALLY tough for a while so you won't have nearly enough money to keep your whole team stocked up, so not buying weapons is just sort of a no-brainer

Good to know. If I had realized I could save before going to Junes I probably would have bought armor instead but it's not big deal.

P4 is the only game where weapons really get completely left by the wayside. P3 weapons are almost exclusively from chest drops and are way better than anything you can find at the shop, and in P5 you have so much money you can buy anything, and you don't have to worry about spending money on armor because of the laundry.

Hey Charliefoxtrot, thanks again for posting that P5 curry a couple of months ago. We've had curry 3 weeks in a row now, including potato curry last week and we're going to try lamb curry this week. We've used the P5 curry with some modifications as the basis for all of them. So good.

Previously on Persona 5 Strikers:
(minor curry-related spoilers)






The LeBlanc Curry recipe is a solid one. It doesn't have potato though -- putting that in adds starch to make it rich and thick; I basically went until all the onion and most of the potato had completely dissolved. Because of that I also left the carrots as chunks to sit alongside the beef. The flourish of chocolate and coffee in the reduction works extremely well. Rice was garnished with daikon sprouts, chives, and scallion greens. Paired with this Dorcha Extra Stout which I got because it had coffee beans on the can lol... also I am going to be eating this curry all weekend
